The next Labour leader thread

[datalol-jack]

This broad church mess is of course courtesy of our greatly democratic FPTP Westminster system: they have to stick together to win; they cannot avoid a good fight. Same for the Tories, and even UKIP and Greens really.

At this rate Skinner is going to be left running the party.

Is Tom Watson related to Phil Jupitus?

Not at all surprised if this is the case, but it very much harms the rebels' narrative if they've been planning this since before the main phase of the EU campaigns even began. Before Corbyn had a chance to appear "insincere" or "unconvincing" as they're claiming.

McDonnell, Corbyn, Labour, it's like something out of Dads Army pmsl what a bunch.

 

[Uther]

Lol at Labour infighting while quite possibly the greatest crisis since WW2 in engulfing the nation.
Shouldn't this be a time of unity to try and sort things out?

 

[thenewoc]

It's like the lunatics have stolen the keys to the asylum.

Why was the labour leader addressing a socialist workers party rally?

 

[datalol-jack]

Why was Boris playing cricket today? They are behaving rather oddly for politicians meant to have a national profile and be potential/actual leaders. I don't know. Avoid problems, and hope it all blows over?

Corbyn is completely useless and completely unelectable. He should do the honourable thing and give up.

Probably the same reason he was speaking at a Green party conference.

Classic quote on bbc news 'Corbyn is going nowhere'. I think they missed the irony that that's half the problem...

Honourable?

What is honourable about the crap Blairites are pulling here exactly?

It would be more honourable for him to stay until the bitter end, there is no reason for him to capitulate to a bunch of starry-eyed ass kissers.

I was looking at pictures of the rally he was addressing. I thought momentum was definitely not an entryist movement, but all the banners are swp branded...

Who do the mps owe their loyalty to, the party leader, the party members or the people who actually elected them?

Apparently no one, but most labour constituencies voted out... yet they seem deadset on ignoring that fact.

Best. £3. Ever.

Then they need a leaver who's clearly out then.

They need a modern, progressive, leader. They need another Tony Blair.

Burnham? His body count is lower, but he shows promise.
